Introduction
Hi, this is Bob and I’m here
on behalf of The Learning
Partnership and their Welcome
to Kindergarten Program. Music
activities will help children to
develop early literacy skills –
listening, speaking, reading and
writing. I hope you will join in by
singing, dancing, and moving to
the rhythm of the songs. Now let’s
start off with my new Welcome
to Kindergarten song. Have fun
and enjoy!
Welcome to
Kindergarten
(Chorus)
Welcome to kindergarten
Welcome to school
Welcome to kindergarten
It’s so cool
We’re gonna make new friends
and have lots of fun
Welcome to kindergarten everyone
We’re gonna learn our numbers
Yesiree
And we’re gonna learn our ABC’s
We’re gonna make new friends
and have lots of fun
Welcome to kindergarten everyone
(Chorus)
We’re gonna learn about shapes
This is true
And we’re gonna learn about
Animals too
We’re gonna make new friends
and have lots of fun
Welcome to kindergarten everyone
(Chorus)
We’re gonna learn about colours
Like red and blue
And we’re gonna read and write
some stories too
We’re gonna make new friends
and have lots of fun
Welcome to kindergarten everyone
(Instrumental)
We’re gonna make new friends
and have lots of fun
Welcome to kindergarten everyone
(Chorus) 2X

Jump up jump down
Shake your body all around
Jump up, jump down
Shake your body all around

Lyrics
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3
Take your fingers
And touch your nose
Touch your tummy
And touch your toes
You can do it alone or with a
friend
Jump up, jump down
And do it all again
(Chorus)
Touch your shoulders
Touch your eyes
Touch your hips
And touch your thighs
You can do it alone or with a
friend
Jump up jump down
And do it all again
(Chorus)
Raise your hands
Way up high
Reach reach reach
To the sky
You can do it alone or with a
friend
Jump up jump down
And do it all again
(Chorus)
Now everybody touch your knees
Touch your elbows
Now everybody…FREEZE
You can do it alone or with a
friend
Jump up jump down
And do it all again
(Chorus) repeat 3X faster each
time

Everyone does different things you

But together we’re one big family
Do you all want to sing that with

Listen to the children at play
Listen to the words that they say
Know that you were once as

Listen to the feelings of your
friends
Remembering when
You were feeling just the same
as them

Oh I can see it on your eyes

And listen to the music around
And feel every sound
Let it lift you up
And never let you down
Hey listen to the harmony I sing
Let it fill your heart and ring
Know all the love that this world

(Chorus)
So listen to the children at play
Listen to the words that they say
Know that you were
Know that you were
Know that you were once as
